NewTek Strengthens Collaboration With Mediability In Scandinavia

NewTek has announced that it has strengthened its collaboration with Mediability Group, one of Scandinavia's largest providers of solutions, services and products for the media industry.

NewTek's NDI® technology will be an element of a cutting-edge demonstration area with interconnected production workflows at Mediability's new headquarters at Media City Bergen.

Visitors to Media City will have the opportunity for a hands-on experience with NewTek solutions, including the company's IP Series Video Mix Engine VMC1, which enables users to connect, communicate, and share video and audio across the network using NDI. The workflow will also integrate with NewTek's award-winning NDI native PTZ cameras.

The NVG1 NewTek-Vizrt IP Graphics Server will also be available for demonstration at Media City. The world-class turnkey video system combines NewTek's software driven video technology with Vizrt's industry leading Viz Trio character generator and Viz Engine compositing software. Therefore, visitors will be able to witness how to implement the highest quality computer graphics and motion graphics into any production.

Chris Waddington, senior director of Sales for NewTek, said: "The Scandinavian market has always been at the leading edge of technology adoption, so we are very pleased to be able to give customers an opportunity to get an up-close view of our innovative NDI technology and IP solutions.

"This initiative also strengthens our ties with Mediability in the region, with whom we have a shared passion for giving customers the tools that allow them to simplify workflows and expand their creative possibilities."

Ingrid Agasøster, chief marketing officer for Mediability Group added: "Our collaboration with NewTek will allow our customers greater flexibility in the way that they work. Our customers will also have the opportunity to see what forms an interconnected production workflow, with NDI at the heart of the new demo set up."
